Chapter 222: Shadow Island (9)

"We live on top of the highest mountain on the north side of the desert island, and there is a cave on it that is not easy to find, the cave is cool and dry, and we can enjoy a certain amount of sunlight every day, which is very suitable for living." Zhu Qing replied.

"And how did you find the cave?" Bau was a little curious.

"As I said, I spent the first few days on the island spending evenings in the trees. But if it's raining, it's not comfortable. So, I decided to find a place where I could live and have a good view, so that I could spot the approaching fishing boats from there. In the back of my mind, I haven't completely given up on the idea of outlying islands.

"On this island, the place to meet the wide view is nothing more than a few peaks around the desert island. I searched one by one. On that day, I was climbing the northernmost and highest mountain, and in the woods to the east of the peak, I suddenly heard a 'bleating' sheep cry. I followed the sound and found a little lamb trapped in a dead tree. When I got closer, I saw that the little lamb had two hind legs stuck in a branch from a dead tree.

"When I saw the pitiful appearance of the little lamb, I felt pity. So, I climbed up the dead tree and slowly approached the lamb. When I climbed up the tree, I realized that the thick dead tree was hollow, with a hollow hole from the top of the trunk where I was to the root, and there seemed to be a deep hole underneath.

"I cautiously crawled up to the lamb and gently pulled its two hind legs out of the branches. Na Cheng thought, the rescued little lamb fled for his life, and suddenly grazed my body and fled under the tree. The fleeing lamb caused me to lose my balance and fall into the hollow of the tree.

"I felt my body fall rapidly, and the light around me was getting darker and darker as my body fell. Instinctively, I used my hands to scratch at the stone that was like a step below me. Eventually, as his feet touched the hard ground below, his body finally stopped falling.

I shuddered and stood up and found myself standing in a wide cavern. He had slid down a sloping tunnel in the cave wall. I steadied myself and looked around, and the roof of the cave was filled with irregular semicircular stone balls protruding from the shape of mushrooms. There is a small puddle on the lower ground on the right hand side of the cave, which may have been formed by rainwater pouring into the cave along the tree hole. The ground is higher on the left-hand side, and the cave extends inward along the terrain.

"Curiosity prompted me to step to the depths of the cave on my left. The terrain is getting higher and higher, and after walking about ten meters, there is a glimmer of light in front of me. I quickened my pace. Sure enough, just as I had hoped in my heart, the light came through an irregular circular hole in the wall of the cave in front of me, the size of a crushing plate.

"I stuck my head out of the cave and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was on the cliff on the south side of the mountain, and from this place I could clearly see the whole island to the south. I was silently thanking God for giving me such a cave where I could hide. Since then, I have lived in a cave. Li Youmei said, with a happy expression on her face.

"Yes, I escaped to the island and was discovered by a Cambodian girl. After learning about my situation, she took me to her 'boudoir'. I was a little surprised that there was such a great hiding place on this island. There is fresh water to drink in the cave, and you don't feel damp at all. ”

"So it seems that from the moment we landed on the island, you were against us

Every move is already in full view. Shi Lang said to the two women.

"Yes, as soon as you landed on the island, Sister Zhuqing and I found you from the entrance of the cave. At that time, we thought that the Japanese soldiers were going to be stationed on the island again. ”

"I was joking with Cambodian sister at the time, saying that now your ability to pretend to be a ghost can come in handy again."

"I listened to Sister Zhuqing's joke at the time, and I said, yes, now the group of ants and those tarantulas in the cave below have food again."

"Isn't it? We almost fed the ants. Hua Xianzu said to the two women.

"How did you know there were man-eating ants in that hole?" Out of curiosity, Bau asked Li Youmei.

"Actually, I found it by chance. After spending some time on the island, the need to survive prompted me to learn to hunt my prey. That day I lassoed a wild goat in the woods with a rope made of bark.

"As I was running over to capture the ibex, a large goat burst out of the grass beside me, and the moment I crouched down, it jerked me to the ground from behind, and then ran to the goat, and used its horns to push the rope that was nailed to the ground. The wild goat, which still had a rope around its neck, immediately dragged the long rope and fled deep into the woods with the wild goat that had rescued it.

"I was not willing to lose my prey that I had been waiting for for two days, so I endured the pain and got up to chase after it. Chase all the way to the cave you three just went into. The two goats had no way out but to flee into the cave. I picked up a tree trunk from the ground and chased it into the hole.

"It's pitch black inside the cave. After chasing for a distance, the wild goat that had been lassoed appeared in front of him. It was standing dumbfounded around the corner of the cave until I crept over and grabbed the long rope, and it didn't struggle.

"Just as I was secretly rejoicing that my prey had been lost, the scene in front of me suddenly made me feel creepy. I saw that about five meters in front of the wild goat, a group of dense giant ants were eating a goat. Needless to say, the nibbled goat must be the larger wild goat I was chasing.

"Just as I was in a daze, I saw a swarm of ants quickly devour their prey and start rushing towards me and another goat. When I came to my senses, I let go of the leash and turned and ran out of the cave.

When I came to the entrance of the cave, I was worried that the ants in the cave would not be able to control the outside of the cave, so I desperately tried to get the loose soil off the edge of the hole with my hands, trying to fill the hole to death. Just then, I suddenly noticed several fist-sized red spiders crawling out of the grass outside the cave, crawling towards the pile of loose soil that I had just cuddled up from the edge of the cave.

"I'm a man who is naturally afraid of spiders. So he quickly hid to the side. I saw these spiders crawling on the mound of earth, as if they were hunting for something. I leaned over and saw that they were preying on termites in the mound. Not only do they prey on termites in the mound, but they also quickly weave a spider's web to seal the entire hole. It seems that they thought the termites had crawled out of the hole.

"They had just woven their webs when they heard the sound of the wind in the cave, and the wild goat, which I had trapped, rushed through the webs like madness, and fell on the grass outside the cave, covered with giant ants. The spider's web was not broken by the ibex, but was tightly encircled around it, making it difficult to break free.

"It's weird, on the wild goat

As if they had fallen into an evil spirit, they fell to the ground and died. The ibex escaped the bite of the ants, but did not escape the attacks of the more dangerous spiders. I saw that the spiders in the spider web instantly crawled along the spider silk to the sheep. The ibex appears to have been injected with some kind of venom by the spider, and its body convulsed a few times before dying.

"I was worried about the ants in the cave, so I turned around and went to the entrance of the cave to watch, but I saw that the ant colony in the cave gathered at the entrance of the cave, but I didn't dare to come out. I tentatively picked up a stone and smashed it into the colony, but they just looked at me angrily, but they didn't dare to climb out of the hole. I wonder if they don't dare to see the sun.

"As for why the spiders crawled to the mouth of the hole, I tried to do the same thing a few more times, and finally found out that the giant spider was a termite-loving man. There were a lot of termites in the loose soil on the cave wall, and there were many of them in the soil I dug up, so the spiders crawled quickly. ”

"Yes. This is a type of man-eating ant that lives in burrows, they can only live in the shadows and die at the sight of sunlight. As for those spiders, they are a type of tarantula and are highly venomous. Bau said.

"No wonder all the ants on that sheep died unbelievably because they were afraid of the sun. Those spiders were big enough, I've never seen them this big before. They definitely have a lot of venom in their bodies. Li Youmei said.

"Yes. This spider is not inferior to a cobra in terms of poison, so never touch them. Bau said.

"Thanks to Bau, I stopped me. Otherwise, I would have died at the mouth of a tarantula. Hua Xianzu said.

"How many Wakoku have you killed in this way?" Shi Lang asked Li Youmei.

"I can't remember the specifics, but there were about twenty people. In fact, not only did I kill them in this way, but I often dressed up as a female ghost at night to scare them. I'm going to keep them alive all the time. ”

"It's a pity that when I landed on the island, there were no Japanese people on the island, otherwise I could have followed the Cambodian girl to kill a few Japanese people and avenge the dead teacher." Zhu Qing gritted his teeth and said.

"Zhuqing, why don't you ...... Q: What is the news about Li Ruzhu and General Li? Shi Lang hesitated, but still said to Zhu Qing.

“…… I'll tell you the truth, Brother Shi Lang, the reason why I decided to become a nun in the first place was to forget Brother Zhu as soon as possible. How can I be worthy of him? I just want to forget everything, get rid of the dust, and spend the rest of my life quietly alone. ”

"You don't know that your decision to escape into the empty gate has caused a lot of damage to General Lee. After leaving the nunnery where you were that day, General Li was depressed for a long time, and his whole body lost a lot of weight. We all know that he actually has a lot of feelings for you. ”

"But I ......"

"You are innocent. People cannot live in the shadows of the past all the time. Everything has to look forward. ”

"But I'm ...... She has long been an incomplete woman. ”

"I think General Li really loves you. None of what you say will be an obstacle to your continued love. What you need to do now is to get rid of the shadows of the past as soon as possible and be ready for a better life. ”

"I ...... Try it......"

The five of them said as they walked, and before they knew it, they had come to the location where the other team members were.
